Patent number: 11261980Abstract: A flapper check valve employed to prevent flow up the work string while allowing flow down the work string and into the well is disclosed. The check valve is activated by a compression spring, which then acts on a ball which will further act on a cam profile attached to the back of a flapper. The apparatus causes the flapper to default to the closed position when the flow is stopped, regardless of the position of the valve, even when gravity is acting against the flapper. The compression spring also allows for an apparatus which possesses lower operating stresses on the spring.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2021Date of Patent: March 1, 2022Assignee: Coil Solutions, Inc.Inventor: Michael Herrera

Patent number: 11198584Abstract: A variable sized coiled tubing counter is described herein. The variable sized coiled tubing counter includes a plurality of rollers. At least one roller is a floating roller which is allowed to travel and may be connected to a tension assembly. The variable sized tubing counter typically includes a counter which is rotationally connected to a floating counting roller using a somewhat flexible axle. As coiled tubing passes through the tubing counter, the length of tubing is determined based on the number of rotations of the counting roller. The use of floating, tensioned rollers allows the disclosed tubing counter to be utilized with multiple diameters of coiled tubing without significant adjustment to the tubing counter or changing components of the tubing counter.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2020Date of Patent: December 14, 2021Assignee: Premier Coil Solutions, Inc.Inventor: Randall Dean Behrens

Patent number: 10570680Abstract: A system is provided for injecting coiled tubing (CT) into and out of a wellbore. In embodiments, separate injector and reel units are provided releasing constraints on CT size and length. The injector unit is fit with an extendible mast for handling larger bottom hole assemblies and fit with a rotating gooseneck for accepting CT from alternate arrangements of the reel unit. The mast is reinforced to resist CT loading. The capacity of the reel is maximized for the reel unit transport envelope. The reel is rotated using an offset drive engaging a bounding reel flange, such as engaging drive and bull gears. A generally radial displacement of the drive from the reel permits replacement of the entire reel.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2017Date of Patent: February 25, 2020Assignee: Coil Solutions, IncInventors: Mark Andreychuk, Allan Joseph Pleskie, Matthew Joseph Gotch, Gary Russell Callander
